Throwaway because I feel stupid posting this but need some perspective.

This morning my wife and I had a fight. Later my wife was doing her deceased father's taxes. I was about to step out the door but feeling really dysregulated and asked my wife for a hug, which she refused. Then I said "I'm feeling sad" and she yelled at me that she doesn't have any space to deal with my emotions.

I am literally just asking to be able to express my feelings in a simple way and be heard. It doesn't have to be complicated, a simple "okay" would do in response. But right now her go-to is to get angry whenever I express a feeling in this direct way (it's a new practise for me).

She tells me she needs to be able to have space. She said that in response to me saying I need to be able to express my feelings and have them be heard (yes I have been clear that a simple "okay" will do). AITAH for not giving her space in that moment? It for needing, in whatever random times, to be able to express my feelings and be heard?
